Implementation of proposals under section 11
12
1
This section applies to proposals under section 11.
2
Confirmed proposals must be implemented by the persons mentioned in subsection (3), respectively, to such extent (if any) as the proposals provide for each of them to do so.
3
The persons are—
a
the local authority that maintains a school subject to the proposals;
b
the governing body of a school subject to the proposals;
c
such other persons as may be prescribed.
4
Confirmed proposals are to be implemented in the form in which they were confirmed, subject to the following subsections.
5
At the request of prescribed persons, the local authority that made the proposals—
a
may modify the proposals after consulting such persons as may be prescribed, and
b
if any confirmation was given subject to the occurrence of a specified event, may specify a later date by which the event in question must occur.
6
A local authority that made the proposals may determine that subsection (2) is to cease to apply to the proposals if it is satisfied—
a
that implementation of the proposals would be unreasonably difficult, or
b
that the circumstances have so altered since confirmation was given that implementation would be inappropriate.
7
If required to do so by regulations, a local authority must consult or obtain the consent of such persons as may be prescribed before making a determination under subsection (6).
